On the closing day of SAICM PrepCom2, participants adopted a report of the meeting. It was decided that the draft elements of the overarching policy strategy, concrete measures and high-level political declaration will be annexed to the report, for further consideration at intersessional regional meetings, and at PrepCom3.

Greenpeace suggested that NGOs and the African Group would carry out a study on the internalization of costs to society associated with chemicals production and use during the intersessional period.
